Kate Hudson is known for her down-to-earth vibe and laidback charm, so it’s no surprise to hear that her beauty regime is similarly low-key. Hudson, who was recently announced as the newest brand ambassador for Almay, revealed some interesting beauty secrets to WWD:

• She likes to take some “time out” for herself each day. “My mom taught me that. No matter what it is. Painting your toenails or meditation or reading a book. Exercise is vital.”

• Her exercise regime is not much of a regime: “I go in spurts. For a month I’ll be obsessed with something, and then a month will go by without me touching a weight or going to a gym. I try to just enjoy life and do what it feels my body is telling me.”

• Her mom’s best beauty advice? “Sleep. And her green juice. She has this thing for greens and high levels of chlorophyll. The juice is made with water and kale and spinach and omegas and ?axseed oil.”
